Question about reforms

[Boriak]

Which nations have them? How and when do they occur? In what way to they effect the nations?

If all this is written somewhere, let me know.

Every faction, except Saba IIRC, gets a new bodyguard unit. Next to that some factions get excess to new units.

It can be triggered only by a Roman cultured faction, that is The Roman Republic or the Roman Rebels, upgrading one of their city's in Italy, Roma not included, to an Huge city.

You thought the romans were good before the reforms, brace for pila impact...

[Boriak]

What about Carthaginians?

[Balikedes]

What about Carthaginians?

Oh yeah, they definitely get some reform action.

When? What kind?

[DimeBagHo]

After the reforms the Civic Units get a +2 exp bonus at recruitment, making them equivalent to the Libyan units. It's not a huge gain.

[Scutarii]

Pretty much.

On the subject of reforms, I think Gaul only gets the Heavy Swordsmen unit Post-Marian, but I could be wrong... And I can't remember if the Kestros Slingers are post-marian or not..

[DimeBagHo]

Scutarii: Yes to both.

The way the vanilla reforms mechanism works is pretty much hard coded. You can kind of work around it by swapping cultures, but it will still only work for the culture that has the internal name "roman".

Otherwise you have to ditch the mechanism and make your own with scripts and special buildings. Which might happen in XGM some time, but it won't be anytime soon.

Well then my Macedonian campaign will never see post-Marian units because Romans were wiped out. And I will probably not wait around for them to go Marius! on me in my Carthage campaign because they are giving me a hard time as it is.

And I thought I play slow!

Just add_population and process_cq one of their cities a bit every turn to speed up the reforms.

[Boriak]

That sounds a lot like cheating. Perhaps I will make a ceasefire with the Romans and go conquer Greece in the meantime.

[Lycurgus the Lawgiver]

Just play a Baktrian campaign and the reforms will come sooner or later

[Boriak]

Not a bad idea.

[Num13ers]

Do the Rebel Romans also receive reforms? I don't know why, but I always prefer playing as the Rebel Romans rather than the actual Romans.

I do know why The Roman Rebels don't have the exp bonus the Romans have IIRC

Yes, any Roman cultured faction can make the reforms happen.

[Boriak]

Rome is now a huge city with an Imperial Palace. Still no reforms. What more must happen?

[CaesarVincens]

Rome doesn't work, you need another Italian city to be huge.

Is it possible to mod the files to where Rome triggers the reforms?
